Hello, ive got a kity 613.
I bought it a couple of years ago with a suspected blown motor. I tried the capacitor but it was indeed the motor. I replaced it with a another motor and wired in a new safety switch and new tyres. I then bought some blades from tuffsaws, set it up via videos on YouTube. It works, but not very well as i have issues trying to get straight ( as in upright ) cuts.
On a different thread earlier in the year, another member suggested i check the adjustment to make sure it goes fully up and down, as i shouldn't be able to max out blade tension.
I needed it the other day and finally got round to taking a look, and the tensioner is indeed maxed out. The lower wheel does not moveup and down, the (4) blades i have are all the recommended 2300mm (90.5")
The frame does not appear to have any damage so does not appear bent.... so I'm struggling to figure out what to do.
I could fit a shorter blade and try tensioning that but I'd quite like to get to the bottom of it. At some point I'd like more cut depth, so would end up selling this one, but in either case i need to fix it....
Any ideas??
Thanks, kev
